Can you stick it out long enough to find a job that’s more motivating for you, possibly by transferring to another team or moving to another company entirely?

I’d like to convince you you’re not helpless. You can stick around 5 months (Feb you said) and on the side, look for another role. And it’s great you have good compensation now, but there’s a good chance you get paid as much over even 15% more in your next role.
One thing I do recommend is to not get is attached to your job that it starts defining who you are or that swings in office priorities, leadership, etc. impact feelings of feeling helpless or excessively confident.
And avoid lifestyle creep. If you live below your means, even leaving a toxic job for a one better for your mental health, even if it pays less, won’t be a financial dent… maybe ego but nothing than really matters.
- slickrick216 5y agoThank you for the advice and the optimism. I’ve decided to stick it out and casually apply for jobs for the next few months. If something comes up that’s right great. If not well the real search can happen in the new year.
